Contemporary Silver Wedding Band Set

I'm finally getting this contemporary wedding band set up for sale.


The center band is shown 'frosted' in this set... but it could also be hammered, satin, or highly polished.

This post displays a set of four photos back when I did my very first set of wedding bands. I made an alloy of sterling silver and poured it into the above clay casting flask.


This is what the casting looked like before I pulled it out of the mold.


Here you can see one of the vent holes that filled with silver on the opposite side of the pour.

The casting was then sawn, the bands sized, and then hammered and machined. The above photo shows the completed bands... hard to believe this is what was hiding inside that ugly hunk of metal.

This is a silver pendant I made about a year ago... It's shaped like the island of Cyprus where my mother was born. It consists of two thin sheets of silver with a thicker sheet of copper in between. I included the copper because of the historic relationship between Cyprus and its copper production. The Romans called copper "Cyprium" which was eventually shortened to "Cuprum" which is the root of the English word "Copper".
